Amen!
Wait, wait, wait!!!! Grabs the pancakes out of the freezer? Come on now, pancakes have to be made from scratch and be fresh. Got to treat those grandkid right don't we?
David,,,you're joking,,right?
That is far too early in the morning! Makes me feel tired just reading it.
Ho hum just another day!! Kidding, of course! Thank God also that you're still YOUNG!!!!!
:)
the 5:55 bit referring to dial-up almost makes me cry for you.
Are you nearer broadband yet?
What about satellite service?
Wow, Brenda you are a hard act to follow. It's funny how the presense a mere belt can produce the incentive to finish the task LOL... Whatever works!!
We're still in the stage of dressing Dylan. 'Course, we have to catch him, first.
My day starts with "Alarm rings at 4:30 a.m. and I wish it was Saturday everyday." Coffee isn't very effective at 4:30 a.m., but I do feel your pain. Kim has to get the kids up, as I've been at work for an hour when she tries to drag all three of them out of bed.
hmm.. belt.. that's what's missing from my morning routine. however, if i showed it to zoe, she would miss the point. she'd ask me to let her try it on.
Cat in the toilet....
Gives one pause.
Is this a typical morning? Wow no wonder you are so young and staying that way!
No Brenda I was being serious. I don't do frozen.
AW c'mon David...They have some really good frozen waffles and pancakes now a days!
Thank God for Nanas!!!!
